Guarding Turkish Women.

Turkish women rarely go out alone.
They promenade In parties OF from
three to six, but they are accom-
panied by any man. unless one deigns TO
call q man the eunuch whose duty it is
to protect them, and especially to
watch them. This white or black Ger
berus does not hesitate to lash with u
horse whip the ~audacious stranger that
should thin of looking too closely at
the inmates of the harem committed to
his care. A minister plenlpotentiary
had proof OF this fact once, and has
never been able to obtain redress.
The daughters Of Islam are strictly
forbidden to stop, to greet, or even to
have the appearance OF recognizing a
man, be he their brother, their hus-
band, or their father; and when the
latter recognize, beneath the pachmak,
a woman belonging to their hsrem,
they must pass ON without making her
any greeting II any sign. The disci-
pline OF manners is so strict in respect
to this matter that an ediot of the pre-
feet Of the police lately forbade Mus
selmanic women to enter the stores to
make their purchases. They had to
stop at the merchants doors, and he
wa obliged to fetch out into the street
the thing that they wanted.
This law, which was incapable Of
being enforced, could not long be
maintained.

The Advantages of Secrecy.

Mrs. Charles Thompson had got
tired of living in the country and about
the time that Montreal houses break
out into a harmless erysipelas of bills
having the legends, "To Let" and
"For Sale" she said to her husband:
"Don't you think, dear, 1t would be
well enough for us to return to the
cityP"
"Yes, l do" said Mr.. Thomson.
Miss Julia Robertson, Mrs. Thorn
sons pretty 1S-year-old sister, clapped
her hands.
"Goodl goodl" cried she. snow l
shall have some sort of chance at matt
nees and the opera again"
House hunting commenced In good
earnest; but it tagged after the first
edge of enthusiastic enterprise was
worn of. None Of the houses suited
exactly. Mrs. Teomson declared that
it was of no use wearing out ones shoe
leather and temper looking for what
couldn't be found. Mr.. Thomson
said 1t was a pity they hadn't found
that out before. Mrs. Thomson said
that. as far as she was concerned, she
would Just as soon stay where they
were. Mr.. Thomson retorted that any
thing was better than al lndolent
woman. Mrs. Thomson burst into
tears. Mr.. Thomson went out OF the
room banging the door behind him.
Miss Robertson declared that all men
were brutes, and that she for one never
intended to be married.

son. 1T was all Charley's fault, our
taking this horrid, damp hole"

Miss Robertson. MRS. Thomson's bap-
tismal appellation was Beatrix. "You
were as wild after it as he was.
"And," added Bee, ignoring the In
terruption, ''if we have to live on the
grass under an umbrella / shall make
no further efforts"
Mr.. Thomson said the same thing,
and Miss Robertson was just making
NY her mind to another season in the
country, when Bee came exultingly
back from the city n evening.

Two little forms outside the gate,
Who hour by hour in patience walt
-Four wistful eyes as bright as stars
Peeping with wonder through the bars
-Four little hands that long to old
Bright flowers, or apples red and gold
Two shrill young voices that would say :
"Giye us some flowers or fruit to-day !!
Only-what little tongue could dare
Ask such q boon from lady fair?
She comesi and down the velvet walk
Moves gently, and with silver talk
Beguiles the time; her comrades glide
In pleasant converse by her side.
They do not see the eager eyes
Who watch them with a glad surprise,
To rustic Judgment, they must seem
Like white-robed angels in a dream,
So fair, so graceful. and SO blest
In such sweet garden bowers to rest,
And no doubt plucking many a gem
Which seems so far away from them!
Alas how oft our mortal fate
Keeps us outside the garden gate
Almost we feel we might be there,
Wandering amid those scenes so fair
Almost our fingers seem to clasp
Bright flowers, that still elude our grasp
Some adverse fortune seems to say
otis not for thee; so, GO thy wayl'

A Deluge from the Geysers.

We were away In the morning to
fresh fields and pastures new; but Just
as we were upon the order of going
there came a shrek from the mouths
of a score of tireless watchers, and lol
at the further end of the basin was a
geyser overdue now climbing the skie5
in 3 frenzy Of dazzling foam; every.
body started on the double quick
men, women and children. AlonzJ
touched up the animals and away we
went with a blackboard load Of guests.
Before we had reached the scene of
action another geyser had burst forth,
and then another and another, and yet
another. We sent up a cheer that was
audible above the almost deafening
roar of the waters and the stream;
women screamed Historically, children
cried with fright. II. was glorious; Il.
was terribly glorious. 1t seemed as il
the deluge was about to cover the
mountains once more. The spray fell
upon US like summer rain; the houses
were obscured with thin vapor; again
and again we were driven hastily from
our vantage ground by cloud bursts
that threatened to engulf us.
The hair of the scientists stood on
end. They moved their arms wildly,
as II they were directing the orchestra
Of the elements, and it was thus that
we babe adieu to the upper Geyser
basin, really with our hearts In our
throsts, and our jackets sparkling
with moisture. The horses stood it
pretty well. Alonzo was at their heads
ia q moment; and then, after a horse
has got used to uncommon demonstra
lions, nothing can touch him further,
AS we drove away out of the whirl-
winds we said to one another, ''Surely,
there is nothing left in the whole Vel
lowstone park worth seeing after this. I"

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disor

Greasy food, though food, slop-
Ply food, bad cookery, mental wor-

many other things which ought not

done a wonderful work in relorm.

the American people so healthy

AN OLD COPY OF A STATE Elk
CHANGE.
The Columbus Enquirer of 1S51-A
Newsy, Neat, and Paying
Sheet, at that Time.

On Saturday last, bfr. w B Glib
son, of our city, showed us a copy
of the Columbus, (Ga.,) Enquirer,
dated July %, 1851, thirty,six
years ago. 1t was then run by
Thomas Ragland & Co., with S w
FIournoy as assistant editor,-an
anti-secessiou paper, and a newsy
and prosperous sheet.
The first thing that attracted our
attention was 18th July speech
made by Daniel Webster, in Wash
ington city, and looking further
we were compelled to notice that it
was paying paper, on account of
being the county organ of several
of the adjoining counties. Stewart,
Talbot, Muscogee, Randolph. Bas
ker and others, were giving it their
legal advertising, There is an adj
vertisement in it for two lost prom
isory notes, given by Mr.. Benja-
mine Gibson of our city, to Nr. j
" Oliver, deceased, father of Mess.
George and Jesse Oliver of Shell
man. Also there is notice Of DR.,
G A Cheatham, now of Dawson,
for Application to sell land of ODE,
dia Cheotham.
Also a reward of Two Hundred
Dollars for a man who had escap-
ed from the Penitantiarv, having
been pat in for killing another
man. This man is now old and
gray has raised large family and
is still living in Randolph county.
There are also several rewards fol
runaway negroes that had escaped
from their masters. At that time
MIR. , arion Betbune, father Of
Frank Bothune Of our city, was

ticed, too, that the corn crop va;

weighing fifty lone pounds.
Last, but not least. we will
mention that Railways Ready Re

in the Columbs Enquirer at that
time.

A horse ran away with a wagon
Monday. He began his wild ca
reer at Capt. Jones steam gin and
went down Stonewall street, He
soon kicked loose from the wagon
and bad fair play to show his cir
Gus feats. The FIRST leap was made
in front Of Mcdonald q Williams
store. A wagon loaded with lum-
Der was standing here and the
horse went over it like fun. In
front of DR., Bussey's a blind horse
was hitched to post. When the
frightened or rather Infatuated
beast reached this point, instead of
leaping, he ran over the blind
horse. The grand finale was made
in the rear Of A P Hatcher CID
stand. At this place he leaped
over wagon, a mule and mig
ger, saluted the audience and
when last heard from was crossing
the Chickasawhatchee creek north
of The city. 1t is needless to say
